PROHIBITION IN TENNESSEE.

An election was held on Thus
day of last week on the adoption
of a prohibition amendment to
the constitution. The election
was one Of the most exciting ever
held in the state, and whilst the
PrOhibitionists have been defeat
ed by small majority, the result
proves that the day Is not far off
when Tennessee will record her
vote tor prohibition. All over the
state, ladies appeared at the polls,
working and pleading with the
voters to cast their ballots for the
amendment, and at many places
served the voters with free lunches
and hot coffee. At Chattanooga,
the ladies made a lavish display OF
banners at every polling booth,
among them being, "Vote for
God, Home and Tennessee to-
day. Vote tor mother, wife and
sister they have no defense save
your ballot" THE women and
children of Tennessee appeal to
the Manhood OF the State"
True women Of America, they
stood at; the polls, pleading with
father and son, te cast their ballots
to the honor of God and the "man- |
hood Of the State" How men
could resist such appeals, and cast
their votes against prohibition is
mystery we cannot solve: Surely |
such prayers, it seems to us,
would have assembled on high to
the throne Of Jehovah, to turn
mems hearts, and like the bugle |
call to arms, inspire even the cow
ard to tie assault.
God bless the women of Amer
lea, we believe that He will yet
hear their prayer, and give them
the victory.

WHITE OAKS BUILDING
ASSOCIATION.

Several OF our prominent citi
zens have announced their willing.
ness to take stock IN q building as.
sociation, and have also expressed
their appreciation of our efforts as
we'll as those of our esteemed CO.
temporary the " Interpreter" in
bringing the matter before the
public. Now is the time to start
the ball in motion. Call a meet
ing at the Town Hall, invite ev-
erybody to attend, and we are sat
isfied the result will be of great
benefit in the up-building OF White
Oaks.
A building association will Sc
cure every one of it's members a
home OF his own. A building as
sociationl inculcates habits of in.
dustry, thrift and economy. A
building association encourages en-
terprise and creates a permanent
population. A building associa-
ton teaches husband or father
who spends his money for whisky |
how to save it for his family and
become respectable citizen.

TIE PENITENTIARY.

The neglect of Governor Ross
to appoint a warden of the penn
tentjary, to succeed Mr.. Gable, is
a dereliction of duty characteristic
of the territorial administration
for the past year.
We are reliably informed that
the Governor is desirous Of ap-
pointing Mr.. Burnett, heretofore
assistant warden, as well as secre-
tary Of the Board of Immigration,
and drawing two salaries.
Upon inquiry we learn that Mr..
Burnett has been in the territory
tor little more than a year and
whose family still remains in Kan
sas, whence he was summoned to
occupy his present position in the
bureau ot immigration.
Further, we learn that Mr..
Burnett has endeavored to rertect
a bond in Kansas for the office Of
warden of the New Mexico peni-
tontiarv, but OF what security such
Il bond would be to the territory,
we are at loss to determine nor
would it be of any value, as the
bondsmen, in all probability,
would not possess the property
qualifications necessary here.
We also understand that sheriff
Pursell OF Socorro, was, by Gov. |
Ross, rendered the appointment of
warden, when the resignation OF
Mr.. Gable was being mooted but
after the resignation was presented .
and accepted, and upon Mr.. Pur-
sell presenting himself to the Gov
ernor, his eXcellency calmly in
formed Mr.. Pursell that his name
would be considered.
Mr.. Pursell is a good man-tor
a Democrat.
Mr.. G. f. Easley, late Register
Of the Land Office at Santa Fe,
was prominently mentioned tor the
wardenship, but he seems to be
very gentlemanly, efficient and |
honorable Democrat, hence his
hopes died soon after birth.
Governor Ross does not seem to
want timber that will not bend.
Lincoln County democrats have
urged the appointment OF as good
a man as possibly can liye-and
be democrat.
John W, Poe is an honest man
a capable man, and, unfortunately
4 democrat.
Whilst we regret that such a
good man as John Poe possesses
SO alarming a weakness as democ-
'acy' we frankly admit that we
honor and respect him as such. be-
'ause we always know where he
stands, !

U. S. Marshal, Phoebe Cousins.

Justice Muller, OF the Supreme
Court Of the United States, has APP
pointed Miss Phoebe w. Cousins,
as Marshal, ad interim, for the
Eastern district of Missouri, to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
her father, Miss Cousins has been
a Deputy Marshal for some time,
and practically had charge of the
office long before her fathers
death. She is thoroughly ac-
quainted with the business, and
will probably conduct the affairs as
well, if not better than any one
who could have been chosen.
Miss Cousins has the honor of
being the first woman III the his
tory Of the country appointed to
an executive Office. All honor to
the chivalrous Judge who appoint
ed her, and the LEADER, for one,
hopes the President will have the
good sense to approve of, and con
firm the appointment.

COL SWAN AND THE G. A. r.

Col. John Swan, a gallant Con
federate officer who served under
Gen. Robert Z. Lee, ard now an
influential citizen Of Charlestown,
w. Va , published a letter in the
Inte(l5gencer of that city referring
to the Wheeling episode, he says
in part
THE affair in Wheeling, has a
vast deal OF meaning. The sold
iers there were representative men.
They refused to go under the pic
ture OF the President. They have
Il perfect right to refuse, as very
pointed way of expressing their
disapprobation and condemnation
Of tho policy aud official conduct
Of the President. To call such
demonstrations partizan is ridicu-
lous. tbs wise for the people to
let their rulers know what they
think of them and popular opinion
can be nowhere so effectually ex
pressed as when the people meet
in large masses. Every thinking
man must see plainly that the de-
monstration at Wheeling was but
the manifestation of the popular
sentiment OF the Federal soldiers
without distinction of party. 1t
the Democratic party is wise it
will take warning frem the demon
stration at Wheeling. 1t was re-
volt against Mr.. Cleveland, the
President. The war is over. We
are under one government. 1t is
the will of God. We now pro-
pose to help to make govern
ment of justice, mercy and the
love of man, mind with mind, not
a battle for discussion or for office.
The remnant of the confederacv
want peace, fraternity, and love
for our common country, and we
warn the politicians of both par
ties that if either presses upon the
country for Presidential honors,
one whose election is likely to Gre
ate bitter hostility on the part of 5
the survivors of the great army ,
that fought us so long and so brave
y, we will cast our vote in the in

DEAR MAJOR :
And we smile.

DEAR MAJOR:
Thinking a few lines and an item
or two Of news might be OF inter
est to you, | write you this, hoping
it may find You in good health and
spirits, if you are in the land of
the living. There are some peo
pie around here who have been in
White Oaks, and who talk learn
edly Of mines and mining. You
and your people of White Oaks
will remember Mac. Mcpherson,
who | think was at one time con-
ncsted with the Baxter Gold Mi
ming Co. Well Mac. is here and
is the same stirring. active boy he
was in the years gone by. He of
ten peaks of you. Mac. is now
engaged in the lumber trade and
is kept busy. BY the way, he
met with a slight accident few
days since, which might have
proved serious, but fortunately
only laid him by for day or two.
Our city has been in a whirl OF
excitement owing to the wholesale
arrest of policy men, as great
set of scoundrels as ever lived in
the worst frontier settlement of any
country. They were arrested one
week and tried and sentenced the
next, but one of the lot escaped |
and believe he proved that he |
was IN one of the vile dens on L.
gltimate business. The whole cap
turc was due to he energy and ex-
penditure III the way of paying
detectives by the Every Evening
Printing Co., a newspaper devo-
ted strictly to morality, and indie
pendent i'll politics, although with
a strong leaning to the Democratic
party. Long may they thrive for
their indomitablc pluck and energy
in breaking up an system Of rob
berry OF the poor Of their hard earn
ed money. Our whole communi-
ty, with the exception of some
disgruntled ones. give them all the
praise Their righteous deed merits.
Our sessions are now running on
petty cases, and the usual average
ot ten to twenty lashes of the cat
y nine ;alls is laid OH theIr bare
backs at New Castle Jail. The
picture is not pleasant to behold,
and yet it seems to keep out of our
city and state a horde of roughs
and petty thieves, and relieves
.he people OF the burden OF mis-
pemtentiary. You doubt
ess have heard of the victory Of
.hc Volunteer over the Scotch
Thistle. Well, the Volunteer is a
Wilmington built vessel, and our
,iulens are naturally elated with
ler victory. The Volunteer was
quilt by one Of our ce ebrated
lrms, the Pasey, Jones & Co.,
IRON boat builders, and they have
acquired laurels in this victory of
.he Volunteer.
Our old friend, Capt. N. r.
Benson has been, and is still, |
car ina very critical condition,
llthough somewhat better, fears
ire entertained for his recovery.
If not trespasslng upon your
'aluable space, will occasionally
give you few lines. ! like to see {
